Seriously, ask-swag-onceler is probably the funniest, if not most rude blog I follow right now… I felt I must pay tribute.

Here’s to you, swag Once-ler!

Trope where there’s one girl in a group of guys but then over the course of the series they all eventually realize that they’re trans and start transitioning and it turns out that all along it was one guy in a group of girls.

People who draw Bolín with a 6 pack instead of as the thicc king he is are cowards

Some Bolin hcs please?

Headcanon A (realistic): Bolin has SUCH “was a self-conscious chubby kid” energy, which Ithink explains some of why he occasionally implies that Mako had better luckwith dating and sex than him, which, lmao. It probably surprised him for awhile after he got into pro-bending when people started taking an interest inhim. He walks around built like a brick house wearing tight ass vests, withtree trunk arms and a pretty boy face, but he’s still like “hm people keeplooking at me, do I have something on my face?” He eventually gets over thisand self-identifies as a snack. I mean how could he not, when he becomes cinema’sfirst sex symbol?

Headcanon B (unrealistic): Unrealistic because Bolin loves love, and loves Mako and wantshim to be happy, but I like to think that Bolin is just constantly suspicious of anyone who shows romantic interest in Makobesides Korra and Asami. He always thinks Mako could do better, because heseriously thinks Mako is the coolest guy in the world. He also constantly triesto set Mako up with guys because he knows Mako is gay before Mako knows Mako isgay, but Mako is a dense bitch who’s just like “huh Bo sure brings a lot offriends over”. When Mako eventually comes by holding hands with Wu like “bro,,,I’m gay”, Bolin is just like “bro,,, I know,,, but like,,, this guy?”

Headcanon C (sad): Similarly to how Sokka feels about Kya, I get the feeling thatBolin has a lot of guilt about not remembering his parents, since Mako has beentaking care of him for as long as he can remember. He at least has the comfortof the family photo so he doesn’t forget their faces, but that isn’t perfecteither, since those faces basically mean nothing to him. It’s why he clings somuch to any family he becomes a part of, much more than Mako, who does remember their parents. Bolin ismore enthusiastic about finding family in Ba Sing Se, he’s the most upset whenTeam Avatar drift apart in Book 2, and he lovesliving with Tenzin’s family because it’s a healthy family dynamic and he’s welcome with them. Bolin’s most quiet characterarc is him looking for a family beyond a photograph.

Headcanon D (canon? don’tknow her): Bolin absolutely owns being pan. He realised when he was very young that gender hasnever been a factor in who he thinks is pretty, and if he’s being honest it’severyone ELSE who’s weird. “I mean, you like one gender? I have to laugh.” When they’re staying at Zaofu he andMako have some heart-to-heart pyjama talk about Mako starting to think abouthis attraction to dudes, and Bolin makes it very clear that he’s supportive ofMako being gay, because how can he judge when he’s like “Oh Opal is very prettyand a girl, Wing and Wei are very sexy and boys, Huan is emo cute andnon-binary, spirits help me.” The Beifong family alone could constitute Bolin’ssexual awakening tbh. It’s one of the things Bolin and Korra bond over.

I love my stupid sexy husband

right, expansion of my "bolin is an insanely good earthbender"

bolin is an earthbender of legendary skill and the thing is-- he doesn't even realise it because for some reason no one in the show points it out??

lets start with his earthbending education or rather his lack there of. there is very little indication that bolin is anything but a self-taught earthbender, he and mako grew up on the streets which never really gave them the opportunity or money to have a formal education in such things, meaning bolin had to create his own way of bending, a way to help him on the streets and in the pro-bending arena-- even toph was taught by the badgermoles but living in the city, bolin didn't have that.

look at those flips!! i've never seen earthbending like it before!! bolin's way of bending is uniquely his and i don't see anyone else move like him.

quickly looking at metalbending, i think it's his lack of formal training that makes it so hard for bolin.

his entire life, bolin has had to be adaptable. this completely goes against earthbending in its traditional sense. everyone we know to be a metalbender, even the nameless republic city policemen, have been trained in traditional earthbending. as stated before, bolin never had that and i don't think it detracts at all from his skills as a whole. i do like reading fics where he learns how to metalbend but i liked that he didn't in the actual series.

onto the next point, bolin has also managed to teach himself how to earthbend without touching the ground. watching atla and lok this seems to be quite a rare talent but this just tells us that bolin is incredibly sensitive to his element which is!! amazing!!

you can see this elemental intuition in other scenes as well, particularly in fights, but for bolin the earth just seems to jump to his command

he's an incredibly fast bender, able to pull earth from the ground and form barriers in seconds-- and not just pebbles, these are boulders and huge slabs of earth

the only time we see bolin have to take a moment before bending is when he topples the skyscraper in the finale of season 4

and when it comes to lavabending??

bolin is a way better lavabender than ghazan and that is the hill i will die on

ghazan seems to have this "start-up" stance that he does before bending large quantities of lava which slows him down a few seconds. bolin? he can lavabend pretty much instantaneously

here, ghazan only lavabends enough to weaken the bottom of the wall of ba sing se which you could argue is all he needed to do but if we look at bolin, he can lavabend more lava and do it much quicker-- even without his hands!! as shown in the first gif below

and this is a talent that very, very few people have. it's not like bolin had a teacher to help him, he had to master a very volatile and dangerous skill by himself, and he did!! in just 3 years!! can you imagine?!?!?

and not only is he an incredibly skilled bender, he also has a heart of gold

given the opportunity to escape, bolin instead goes back to save the people who threatened him into helping them (granted they were well within their rights to do so but ya know) and bends the lava with ease. its not hard to find more examples of his loyalty and devotion to his friends and even strangers. he's compassionate, optimistic and a veritable badass!!

i just wish he'd gotten more recognition for his talents instead of constantly playing the role of comic relief.

also @polyglottishthings yes to everything you said!!

tldr; bolin is an earthbender of legendary skill and no one in the show seems to notice.

When you lose your man to a sexy, earth-bending fictional character, but you really can’t be mad because you get it.
